Default Drive in - How long will accessory mode last?

I just picked up a 2018 GS 350 recently with 25k miles. it’s got the Mark Levinson system which I’m sure draws a decent amount of current. Any clue how long I could run the radio before the battery may be an issue?

double feature tonight with my boy watching World War Z and A Quiet Place 2. I’d rather not need a jump after .

May be or may not be relevant to you, but in accessory on my 2013 GS, the car shuts down after 10-15 minutes. Even without exiting. I spend a lot of time in my car. We have a special relationship....

Thanks! Yea I think mine turns off at 15 min for that very reason. It’s probably just asking for trouble to keep turning it back on every 15 min.

FYI...I’ve escaped to mine as well for conference calls to get away from my lab puppy.

I'm not alone. Phone calls in the GS are so much more clear than Bluetooth earbuds. Now to just get movies from my phone on the beautiful oem display.....
